Living Above The Circumstances

Ever had an experience where God really wants to drive a point home with you.  Everything you see, read or pick up has that idea.  Mine has been prayer.  I haven't even been out looking.  God just seems to placing prayer in front of me.  I know I have much to learn. 
I have let anxiety and fear play havoc in my life.  I want this year to be different.  I am praying and I know others are praying for me.  It is making a difference in my life.  Just the other day I was in a moment of fear.  I realized what I was doing and stopped.  The prayers of others and my prayer helped me get out of that fear much quicker.
In my prayer notebook yesterday, I wrote down a prayer concern for my husband.  Something that was really bothering me.  I also looked up a scripture and prayed that Word.  I was blown out of the water.  God answered that prayer for me all day yesterday, right before my very eyes.  It was like I was having to shake my head and say really, wow.

Phil. 4:6
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer.....

Barnes Notes On The Bible-  It is not that we do not have cares.  It is that we have such a confidence in God that it frees our mind of anxiety.
